Human Resources Generalist Leader
The Opportunity
At Hitachi Energy, we're building a more sustainable future-and people are at the heart of that mission. As the HR People Operations Leader for our Jefferson City facility, you'll play a key role in shaping a workplace where collaboration, growth, and innovation thrive.
This is your chance to influence the full employee experience in a high-impact manufacturing environment that powers the energy transition.

In this role, no two days look the same. You'll blend strategy and hands-on support-facilitating investigations, coaching leaders, driving recruitment, enabling development, and ensuring every employee experience reflects accuracy, fairness, and integrity. If you're energized by fast-paced environments, inspired by people-centered work, and motivated to grow your HR influence, this is an opportunity to lead with purpose and make a lasting difference.
